After Yan Shifan did this for a few times, it seemed that a feasible path had been drawn for Yan Song.

If we say that when Emperor Jiajing first came to the throne more than ten years ago, the incident of recognizing his father could be regarded as the first major ceremony.

Then giving the Jiajing Emperor's biological father a temple title and having the god head enter the Ancestral Temple would be considered the second ceremonial meeting.

Yan Shifan was obviously aware of the opportunity contained in this.

Yan Song thought about it again and again, and then said: "There is no need to rush these things. It is better to be slow and steady, and at the same time, Xia Guizhou should not be too alert."

Yan Shifan said casually: "It's okay. If I are retaliated by Qin Dewei, my father will be understandable even if he is a little angry. Xia Yan can't think of anywhere else."

However, after Yan Song heard the name Qin Dewei, he asked a question: "How can you be sure that Qin Dewei is hostile to me?"

It's not that Yan Song doesn't have scheming intentions, the main reason is that he has very little direct contact with Qin Dewei, and in recent years his focus has been on high-level people like Xia Yan.

Therefore, Qin Dewei was not the object of Yan Song's attention, and Yan Song had not carefully thought about Qin Dewei.

Yan Shifan, on the other hand, spent a lot of time studying Qin Dewei and answered with confidence:

"Based on the relationship between his father and Xia Yan, under normal circumstances, Qin Dewei would definitely be close to his father...

To give the simplest example, it is like Qin Dewei making good friends with Wang Tingxiang.

But father, you should be able to feel that Qin Dewei has always been deliberately alienated from you. What is this if not hostility? "

Yan Song asked back: "Isn't it because you have repeatedly offended Qin Dewei?"

Yan Shifan sneered: "Qin Dewei's current status shows that his officialdom is very mature.

A mature official would deliberately alienate a minister of rites who he could have gotten close to because of a useless person like me?

And there is a saying that no acquaintance can occur without fighting. My son, I have indeed offended Qin Dewei several times, but has Qin Dewei ever approached you, father, to solve the problem?

This is enough to show that Qin Dewei does not want to have anything to do with his father."

Yan Song felt very unhappy. If a person with unlimited potential like Qin Dewei was hostile to him, it was not obvious yet, but it would be more or less troublesome in the future.

"But father, you don't need to worry about Qin Dewei for the time being!" Yan Shifan changed his subject: "Father, just watch Xia Yan. Your opponent is not Qin Dewei. You don't need to waste your energy on Qin Dewei."

Yan Song said helplessly: "What I'm worried about is that Qin Dewei's revenge on you is beyond the reach of this person."

Yan Shifan still said nonchalantly: "As long as you, father, are still the Minister of Rites and Xia Yan's ally, what can Qin Dewei really do to me?

And it is true that I am in the wrong now, but when I am retaliated by Qin Dewei, it will cancel each other out!

At that time, you can ask Xia Yan to come forward to settle things. Of course, it will be even better if Xia Yan is contradicted by Qin Dewei again. "

Yan Shifan also risked his life for the title of "the first to impeach Qin Dewei".

The officialdom of the Ming Dynasty follows rules. No matter how much Qin Dewei retaliates, he cannot be killed.

Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. A student of the Imperial College is not even an official. What else does he have to lose?

If Qin Dewei even made a big show of impeachment and went to death for revenge, he might even be ridiculed for being narrow-minded.

Yan Song felt that his son still did not understand the situation: "The emperor ordered Qin Dewei to supervise the Siyi Pavilion, and Qin Dewei also requested that students from the Imperial Academy be selected as translators."

Being a translator at Siyikan is actually a lifelong profession, and of course it is also a well-established one.

Just like the astronomy students in Qin Tian Jian and the music and dance students in Jiaofang Division, they are of the same nature. Once you get in, you won’t be able to get out. Otherwise, it will be passed down from generation to generation.

This aspect of the Ming Dynasty was very bad. Classes were not completely solidified, but occupations were more solidified, and they were solidified from generation to generation, which led to many problems.

This is what Yan Song is worried about. Originally, after graduating from the Imperial College, he was qualified to elect officials.

With his own operations, Yan Shifan could be an eighth- or ninth-grade junior official in the capital.

But if Qin Dewei gets him to work as a translator in the Seyi Pavilion and then forcibly refuses to let him go for the rest of his life, wouldn't Yan Shifan's life be ruined?

My father is the Minister of Rites of Jinshi and my son is a translator. If I have a grandson in the future and are forced to become a translator, wouldn’t this be a major downgrade of the class?

Yan Shifan said very bachelorly: "Son, how much can I achieve in my life? I am not important. What else can a prison student say about breaking the sky?

In the end, it all depends on you, father. If you, father, can be in charge of the cabinet, even if I am a translator, no one will dare to look down on me, and the Siyi Hall will not be able to keep me!"

Yan Song didn't say anything anymore and just let his son go to Siyi Pavilion to work off his temper.

Then there are only two professions in Siyi Museum: general manager and translator. What else can you do to your son?

I can succumb to Xia Yan and pretend to be humble on the surface. Do I have to be humble to a fifth-grade Hanlin?

Yan Shifan patted his chest and said: "So father, please rest assured, if Qin Dewei really goes too far, I am not a timid person!

We're trying to make a big fuss, but we still can't decide who is more embarrassed! With a small and broad approach, not only Qin Dewei will do it, but I will too!"

Yan Song sighed, to be honest, if Qin Dewei is porcelain, his son can only be regarded as a tile.

But porcelain and tiles get entangled and collide, and it’s not necessarily who gets the advantage in the end.

Sure enough, the next day, Qin Dewei formally submitted a petition to establish a Western-style pavilion in the Siyi Pavilion and recruit fifteen graduates from the Imperial College as translators.

And he also made a precise list, and the name Yan Shifan was among them.

The memorial was sent to the palace, and the cabinet directly approved the draft. Then it was successfully approved and the decree was sent to the Ministry of Personnel without any hindrance.

People familiar with the matter regarded Yan Shifan's encounter as a manifestation of Qin Dewei's venting of anger, and it was not the fault of being a bad person and blocking Qin Dewei for Yan Shifan's sake.

After Yan Jiansheng, who was attending events in Taichang Temple, received the transfer order, he left Taichang Temple simply and went to the Seiyi Pavilion to report.

The Siyi Pavilion is located outside Dong'an Gate. From this location, we can see how marginal the Siyi Pavilion is.

Most of the important government offices of the imperial court were located outside the left gate of Chang'an, and the Sanfa Department was located in Xicheng. These two places were the core of the imperial court.

However, the Siyi Pavilion was located outside Dong'an Gate, and it did not even have a complete government office.

There are nine small courtyards scattered in the alley, which are the nine pavilions in the Siyi Pavilion.

Walking in a small alley with one foot deep and one foot shallow, Yan Shifan couldn't help but complain that he had never seen an official institution that was less impressive than Siyi Pavilion.

This wave of fifteen newly transferred supervisors were all gathered in an empty courtyard in the alley.

It is said that this courtyard will soon become the new tenth building of the Siyi Pavilion, which is also the Western Pavilion.

Yan Jiansheng scanned everything and found a few classmates he knew, and couldn't help but sneer.

In order to retaliate against himself, Qin Dewei raised the "flag" of transferring the students from the Imperial College to the Imperial Academy, which was simply self-destruction!

You must know that although the Imperial College students have lost their status and are not regarded as "clear stream", and their treatment is far worse than that of Jinshi, they are still one of their family backgrounds.

If you are qualified to be elected officials, if you are lucky, you may be selected as the county magistrate.

Therefore, the Imperial College students who were transferred to be translators at the Siyi Hall actually had resentments in their hearts.

Becoming a translator means that you will completely cut off any hope of becoming an official, and you will have to deal with foreign affairs documents for the rest of your life.

Yan Shifan was well aware of the mood of this group of students, and as long as he looked for opportunities to instigate and subjugate them, these supervisors would sooner or later cause trouble.

Making trouble alone, or making trouble with more than a dozen people in a group, is not the same nature. At least it will make Qin Dewei miserable and lose his face.

Thinking of this, Yan Jiansheng stopped pretending to be the Master of the Ministry of Etiquette and took the initiative to sneak into the Imperial College students and mingle with them.

Not only is it a desire, but it is also a way to protect oneself. This is called the mass foundation.

Although Yan Shifan was not very respectable, he was not short of money or a father. He said to the other supervisors in a generous manner: "I will be the host tonight, let's have fun together."

Jiaofangsi Lehu was under the control of the Ministry of Rites, and the Minister of Rites was his father, Yan Jian.

This triggered a small cheer. It seemed that Yan Shifan would be the core figure among these dozen supervisors.

Yan Shifan couldn't help but secretly feel proud. This time, you, Qin Dewei, will also have a taste of what it's like to be treated as a petty and generous person.

Suddenly, four servants walked into the courtyard gate, and then two more on the left and two on the right stood waiting by the door.

Everyone knew that a big shot was coming.

Then I saw a young official with a complete crown and belt appearing at the gate of the courtyard, walking up the steps with a high head.

After the young official stood on the platform and stood still, he said to everyone in the courtyard: "I, Qin Dewei, have been ordered to supervise the Siyi Pavilion."

The supervisors were suddenly in a daze. The person in front of them was the most successful case among scholars!

Those who take the path of supervising students all succeed in the imperial examination, and Qin Dewei is the youngest to win the imperial examination.

The contrast between looking at others and then looking at yourself is depressing.

Yan Jiansheng's body shape and appearance were so recognizable that Qin Dewei glanced briefly and saw Yan Jiansheng in the crowd, but he didn't pay attention.

The crowd automatically quieted down, knowing that it was time for lectures next.

Qin Dewei spoke eloquently: "As the saying goes, there are three things that a new official should do when he takes office. The first thing that I, the admiral, do when overseeing the Siyi Pavilion is to add a Western-style pavilion!

If you don't know what a Western-style restaurant is for, I'll give you an example.

The newly built Folan cannon last year was obtained from the prototype of the Western Folan machine gun, and then it was successfully copied.

Today’s Westerners have powerful ships and powerful guns, and they will surely become an overseas force that cannot be ignored in the future! Therefore, this new Western-style pavilion is very important!”

All the supervisors and supervisors were there, pretending to listen attentively, but in fact they didn't take it seriously.

Drawing pie and making chicken blood are simply essential skills for being a boss.

Qin Dewei didn't care about other people's attitudes and continued: "Regarding the future affairs of the Western Hotel, just report it directly to me, and I will take care of it myself!

So I am responsible for all fifteen of you, and there is no need to go through other people in the middle!"
